These Jews, living in sin and refusing the healing power of repentance, questioned the Lord not to fulfill His commands but to see if His divine responses would align with their own desires. This pattern was evident with Zedekiah, who asked Jeremiah to clearly declare what pleased God, yet acted contrary to God's command upon receiving it; similarly, those who went to Egypt after the Babylonian exile acted in rebellion.
Thus, the God of all humanity chooses not to respond to them, for, as Scripture teaches, He understands the hearts of men (1 Cor. 2:11). Consequently, the Prophet is instructed to disregard them and not to pray for them, as indicated by the command to seek vengeance on their behalf, meaning to let go of their questions and concerns. Instead, he must testify to them about the sins of their ancestors. He is to declare to them, Thus says the Lord Adonai: From this day forth, the house of Israel was chosen, led away from the lineage of Jacob, and acknowledged in the land of Egypt. I took hold of their hand and said: I am the Lord your God; I will lift my hand that day to bring them out of Egypt into the land I have prepared for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, greater than all other lands. To those who have approached you, O Prophet, point out My blessings, recount their forefathers' iniquities, and share how I revealed Myself to them in Egypt when they had yet to worship and serve the idolatrous gods of Egypt, teaching them that I am both God and Lord. This message aims to liberate them from bondage, fulfill promises, and grant them the promised land—a land abundant with blessings and fruitful for its inhabitants—declared to be better than all the earth, often described as the product of bees; for it is written: The honeycomb is better than all the earth, and it is referred to as the honeycomb filled with honey.
